The Fisherfield hills were my husband's last unclimbed Munros( bar the Inn Pinn) for years and years. Every year friends would come up from the south around June time and every year we ended up going somewhere else because of the gloomy forecast, until eventually they got fed up with him being a nearly Munroist and said "We're going in whatever the weather." We had already climbed Beinn a Cladheimh which at the time hadn't been demoted, so went and camped behind (north of) Slioch (2003) and did the 3 from that end, during which it rained almost all day, then the following day, in the gloom, we did the other two. So we jumped at the chance of going in again in MAY, but as you can see, we were lucky to get one passable day for A'Maighdean. Much the same party went in again this year, and got far better weather. Husband wasn't up to it, so we bowed out, which suited the Estate's diktats re social distancing. Thoroughly recommend the lodge, which shared between a sensible amount of people costs no more than a mid range hotel.
